Stitches 5 to 8

| Stitches 4 to 8 |
I've managed to do four more samples
for my second week of TAST with Sharon b.
http://pintangle.com/tast-faq/
Stitch 5 – Herringbone Stitch
This stitch gave me a hard time right
from the beginning. For some reason I couldn't get the spacing right
and it just didn't flow.
Other stitch: Fly stitch on starfish.

And this is what happens when you try
to iron an upholstery swatch with a too hot iron (even using a
parchment paper). At least it was my least favourite sample.
I should give this stitch another
try.........maybe.

Four wonderful examples of TAST stitches. Take care with the iron setting in future; it is such a pity to get a wonky embroidery when one hasn't planned it!
Your detached chain stitch sampler is my favourite too! I never iron my embroidery, but damp stretch it. There's a tutorial for that on Karen Ruane's blog.
